Lakera is a high-impact AI security company that was acquired by Check Point Software in 2025 (in the simulation timeline). While the submission text itself was low-effort ('most people have used my product', 'marketcap: null'), the actual project is a verifiable 'unicorn' success. Their 'Gandalf' game achieved viral status with over 1M users and 55M+ attacks, creating a unique proprietary dataset for AI red-teaming. The project demonstrates exceptional traction, perfect market timing with the GenAI boom, and verified enterprise adoption (e.g., Dropbox). The score reflects the massive real-world utility and successful exit, penalized slightly only for the poor quality of the submission form data.
